What's really interesting here, though is the ongoing recognition that this is an effective way to retaliate against US efforts to break treaties or laws. With a country like Antigua, which has little else it can do, it might not be that surprising. But seeing a much larger country like Brazil take this approach seriously may lead to it showing up in many more places as well.

It's interesting how this could ultimately pit the IP owners against those "corn farmers". The IP'ers lobby to stop subsidies to U.S. farmers to alleviate the motivation for other countries to ignore U.S. IP law. Pretty ironic after big media using the "hurting the corn farmers" excuse.

Hitting the U.S. where it can really hurt, Copyrights and Patents, will cause massive pressure on congress and the President to repeal laws and policies that limit or put countries such as Antigua at a disadvantage in the International trade area.
